This year, National Puppy Day is March 23. It's a day to celebrate the unconditional love and affection puppies bring to our lives. They bring smiles and squeals of delight. They cuddle and wiggle and we love them for it! Today is a day to bring awareness to the need for homes for orphaned pups as well as to educate people about the horrors of puppy mills. It's important to consider all factors before bringing home a puppy from a pet store or breeder. Adopt from a shelter and give one of them a forever home today! The ASPCA reports that approximately 3.3 million dogs enter shelters every year. If you’re looking for a dog to start your own furry family, check the shelters first. Each dog that enters a shelter has the potential to become a loving member of a family.

 National Puppy Day is celebrated on March 23rd!

 National Puppy Day is a holiday founded by Colleen Paige in 2006. She is also the founder of National Dog Day and National Cat Day.
